1 # Siti AI — visionOS app
2
3 A native SwiftUI chat app for visionOS, built directly on the [`onde-swift`](https://github.com/ondeinference/onde-swift) SDK — the same on-device inference engine that powers the Tauri app at the repo root. This is a separate native client, not a Tauri build target; Tauri does not support visionOS.
4
5 Project layout and build-target conventions (window sizing, `xros`/`xrsimulator` platform settings, App Group entitlements, solid-image-stack app icon) follow the `SplitFireAIVision` target in the sibling `splitfire` repo (`../splitfire/frontend/xcode/splitfire/SplitFireAI.xcodeproj`). The chat engine wiring (streaming bridge, model lifecycle, conversation persistence) follows `onde-swift`'s own `Examples/OndeExample` app.

7 ## Setup
8
9 Install [XcodeGen](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen) if you don't have it:
10
11 ```
12 brew install xcodegen
13 ```
14
15 Generate the Xcode project and open it:
16
17 ```
18 cd xcode
19 xcodegen generate
20 open SitiVision.xcodeproj
21 ```
22
23 Set your development team under Signing & Capabilities (defaults to `2TQF86ZACD`, the same team as the Tauri app's iOS build — see `../src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`), pick a Vision Pro simulator or device, hit Run.
24
25 ### Developing against a local `onde-swift` checkout
26
27 By default `project.yml` pulls `Onde` from the published `onde-swift` releases (`from: 1.1.0`), the same way `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` pins `onde = "1.1"` from crates.io. To iterate against a sibling `onde-swift` checkout instead — e.g. while adding a new SDK method — point the package at a local path the same way the Rust side's `[patch.crates-io]` block does:
28
29 ```yaml
30 packages:
31 Onde:
32 path: ../../onde-swift
33 ```
34
35 Then, from that `onde-swift` checkout, build the visionOS slice before regenerating:
36
37 ```
38 make visionos
39 ```
40
41 `make visionos` needs the sibling `onde` Rust crate checked out next to `onde-swift` (`ONDE_REPO` defaults to `../onde`) and a nightly Rust toolchain with `-Z build-std`, since visionOS is a tier-3 target.
42
43 ## What it does
44
45 On first launch, it downloads and loads the platform-default model (Qwen 2.5 3B on visionOS, same tier as macOS) and streams replies token-by-token. Conversations persist locally between launches. The model cache lives in the shared `group.com.ondeinference.apps` App Group, so a model already downloaded by the Tauri macOS/iOS build of Siti is reused here instead of being fetched twice.
46
47 Current MVP feature set (mirrors `onde-swift`'s example app, reskinned for Siti):
48
49 - token-by-token streaming with a stop button
50 - local conversation persistence between launches
51 - model settings sheet for system prompt + sampling preset
52 - toolbar actions to reload the model or clear the conversation
53 - prompt suggestions when the conversation is empty
54
55 Not yet done: a real visionOS-native layout (ornaments, volumes, spatial windows) — this MVP is a single glass `WindowGroup`, functionally equivalent to the iOS/macOS chat view. Immersive-space exploration is a good next step once the 2D chat flow is verified end-to-end.

57 ## Files
58
59 | File | What's in it |
60 |------|---------------|
61 | `SitiVisionApp.swift` | Entry point. Calls `setupInferenceEnvironment()` at launch, sizes the default window. |
62 | `ContentView.swift` | The chat UI: header, empty state, message list, input bar, reload/clear actions, settings sheet. |
63 | `ChatViewModel.swift` | Bridges UniFFI streaming into Swift concurrency, manages model lifecycle, restores history, persists conversation. |
64 | `SitiDefaults.swift` | Siti's system prompt (mirrors `../src-tauri/src/chat/mod.rs`'s `CHAT_SYSTEM_PROMPT`), sampling presets, prompt suggestions. |
65 | `InferenceEnvironment.swift` | Points `HF_HOME`/`TMPDIR` at the shared App Group container so downloads land somewhere visionOS allows and are shared with the Tauri build. |
66 | `SitiVision.entitlements` | Generated by `xcodegen generate` from `project.yml`'s `entitlements.properties` — do not hand-edit, it's overwritten on every generate. |
67 | `project.yml` | XcodeGen spec. `SitiVision.xcodeproj` is generated from this, not checked in. |
